Ideal Vacation Spot Before and After
by Mama Hippo
One of the comments people make the most when they meet D is what big eyes he has. Which always makes me smile, b/c people used to say that about me a lot.
To be honest, I myself get entranced by his big brown eyes quite often. God help us, with those eyes and that dimple he's gonna be such a lady killer when he grows up...
D's getting really good at the army crawl. My days of being able to set him down somewhere and trust that he'll stay there are most definitely over. He's been having a ball up in his room scooting around all over the wood floor. It's been a lesson in needing to keep our floors cleaner, though-- several times I've picked him up and his front will be filthy. Hmmm maybe I should start stickingswiffero-mop cloths on his clothes.
I was filling out a profile for the Mom Blog Network the other day and one of the questions was something about your ideal vacation spot, and I laughed at how much that has changed in the past 6 months. My ideal vacation spot used to be anyplace that seemed interesting and fun, hopefully with lots of sun and good food.. Now some of the first things I think of when thinking of places to go are, "Can they accomodate a baby? Do they have a bed for him or do we need to bring one? What kind of take-out food will there be, b/c we're not gonna be spending much time sitting in restaurants...." My how life has changed....
What's your ideal vacation spot? How has it changed since having children?

I want to go to Disney World! Obviously when my kids get older since at 16 months I don't think my daughter or I would enjoy it!
Same here. Even with restaurants, it's hard to find one that even have a changing area. I don't plan on taking M on vacation anytime soon because she's not a good traveler, unless we stop every hour, and she probably won't remember it at all. Our first BIG trip will probably be to Disneyland. She loves her stuffed Mickey Mouse (like it's her baby), and Disney books. And her room has a Pooh theme going...partially because the previous owner left the Pooh decor up from their girls.
When mine were tiny the ideal place was visiting family and relaxing - they are spread out and do not live close by, so this had many advantages for me. As they got old enough to enjoy other then places with beaches, especially camping near lakes became favorite places to go. We lived near Disneyland, so that was not considered a vacation, but a fun place to spend a day during the Summer.
